Dear all,
During our last OMT meeting we talked about formal reporting of the
readiness level (TRL) of the project technologies.
As WP4 we agreed to follow the guidelines of TRL assessment in the concept
of software development for a Research and Innovation Action
-
TRL 3 - Initial script & functions to solve the desired problem.
-
TRL 4 - Alpha version of the software tested internally (both
functionalities and process) by the development team.
-
TRL 5 - Alpha version of the software functionalities tested by
outsiders of the development team.
-
TRL 6 - Beta version of the software functionalities tested by selected
end-user under a control model.
-
TRL 7 - Beta version of the software functionalities widely open to
end-users.
As you can see, the defining factor of TRLs 4,5,6 is testing. Educational
tools are mostly in between TRL4 and TRL5, so (as Marianthi mentioned in a
previous mail) please keep asking questions as you use them.
The ExtenDT2 Platform <https://extendt2.com/> is at TRL5, with the
contribution of people from OU and UGhent who sent valuable feedback, and
needs to enter TRL6 as soon as school interventions start.
To complete TRL5 we need a thorough usability testing by you as end-users.
The attached file (named Platfrom_testing) will introduce you to the
actions the end-user is anticipated to complete within the Platform.
*Actions*
a) For TRL5 we need one member per partner to be responsible for the
process and fill in the evaluation sheet. This person will act as
administrator who will create a new institution account and go through the
process described by the required actions of each table.
b) For TRL6 we need the usability testing to be repeated and the respective
tables of the evaluation sheet to be filled in during or after a school
intervention (maximum two interventions per partner).
Please, consider the above and send your feedback for both TRLs timely, be
critical and explain your thoughts in the "comments" column.
